Rant: Poutine Routine

Headline over at Wine Enthusiast: “Dr. Nicolás Catena Zapata, Lifetime Achievement Award Winner | Wine Enthusiast’s 2021 Wine Star Awards”


Headline over at Wines of Argentina: “Canadian Cuisine and Argentine wines: a host of new pairings to discover”

Seems a bit odd that a blog dedicated to the region’s wines is straight up ignoring the achievement, even if it is from another publication. Put some shine on that name.

Speaking of WiE: Noticed their 100 Best Buys of ’21 dropped. 4 Malbecs of the bunch: 1 French, 1 American and 2 Mendozas: Domaine Bousquet 2020 Cameleon and 2019 Inkarri Organic. The Inkarri landed in the top 10, and of course it’s not available here in my state so it’s off to try and hunt a bottle down.
